<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>PrisonBull</b></div><div>The 'shooting percentage is unsustainable' is a meme. With the season half over, he maintains that stat and leads the entire league. He is 2nd in the entire league in GWG.

'Hischier faces better comp.' Are you kidding me? EP40 is a first line player. He is significantly more advanced in ability and confidence.

EP40 is one of the best two-way players in the league.</div></div>

One of the best two way players in the league wouldnt have a 2.278 xGA/60. Hischier statistically plays against tougher comp (93 percentile compared to EP40's comp which is in the 50th percentile) and most importantly Hischier has a 2.829 xGF/60 (98th percentile) vs EP40's 2.095 xGF/60 (39th percentile). EP40 is shooting 26% with a 103.4 PDO, neither of those numbers are sustainable. Saying more advanced in confidence is a poor comparison tool, GWGs are a totally cherry picked stat used to make Pettersson looks better, he's tied in 3rd with 5 GWG.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Bflo_Soldier</b></div><div>How's that?

<strong>Pros</strong>
More goals
More assists
Higher PPG
Higher Shooting%
Higher Avg TOI
Higher +/-
More Takeaways
More Blocks

<strong>Cons</strong>
More Giveaways
Lower FO%

Stats don't tell the whole story, however. Hischier plays on a team that made the playoffs last year with very little turnover, while Pettersson plays on a team that was in the basement and lost it's 2nd and 3rd best players in the off-season without any top level reinforcements (besides the one player we're discussing).</div></div>

higher sh% isnt something you would list as a pro, 25% is unsustainable. +/- is a garbage stat. More AOTI doesnt matter when Hischier faces better comp. Hischier was a .68 takeaway/game his rookie year and Pettersson is at a .51 takeaway/game right now. Hischier has a much higher xGF, ixGF, and cf%

Thread: WJC has passed is it time to say Kakko gt Hughes
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>NucksFanForLife</b></div><div>I'm saying Hughes, though Kakko is definitely more ready for the NHL. Look at the bottom teams. Here's a look at the bottom ten teams and who they'd choose. Colorado (Ottawa) would probably take Kakko. They would rather immediate scoring over long term scoring as they aren't rebuilding. Philadelphia takes Kakko all day. They need a Voracek/Simmonds replacement and they are a more physical team. Plus, Patrick needs room to grow. LA takes Hughes. Luff, Brown, Toffoli, and Kovalchuk have the roster spots right now and Kakko wouldn't be able to get a top six role. Plus they just started a rebuild and Hughes should take Carter's role down the road. Vilardi-Hughes-Kopitar is a pretty good 1-2-3 punch. St. Louis takes Hughes IMO but it's debatable. Kyrou, Tarasenko, Bokk, and Kostin is better than O'Reilly, Thomas, Bozak, and Barbashev. St. Louis has zero good center prospects behind Thomas. Detroit takes Kakko. They have nobody behind Mantha for RW. Chicago takes Hughes. They're stacked on the wings and Strome isn't an ideal 2C yet. NJ is a mystery as they have no solid RW prospect but zero high A C prospect. I still think they take Kakko. Arizona takes Hughes. They have no legit centers IMO though they have a lot of talent up the middle. Neither player is ideal for Arizona, they need a LW or D prospect. NYR takes Kakko. They've got a ton of talent up the middle. Vancouver takes Hughes. I'd rather see Pettersson on the wing and Hughes could play LW too. Kakko could be good too, but the pull of Quinton is too much. It's split down the middle, but since Chicago and LA should have the highest chance of drafting first as Ottawa is slumping and should bounce back and Philly should rebound with Hart, I'm giving this to Hughes. It's too even to be dogmatic, but it really depends on who wins the lottery.</div></div>

Kakko is a center

Thread: No need for big moves atleast not right now
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jbarah12</b></div><div>I was focusing more on the trade but I agree, u can always put Shaw on the 4th line and have Suzuki with Drouin and Domi. I've got no problem with trading the rights for Armia to give Poehling or Evans a slot either. Delauriaus and Peca can be replaced too. The options are there</div></div>

Absolutely. Montreal has developed a decent prospect pool, and now they get to reap the benefits. Drouin-Domi-Suzuki, Tatar-Danault-Gallagher, Lehkonen-Kotkaniemi-Evans, and Byron-Shaw-Armia as your lines next year is insanely deep. That is four line of players who all have the ability to hit 40 points. A bounce back season from Price and you have a playoff lock, and possibly a cup contender.

U can find some more evidence for yourself if you're up to it. I'm not saying hes McDavid, i'm saying he should be near his level</div></div>

Vancouver based article

Sportsnet radio article

Point totals

"He should be near his [McDavid's] level" LOL no. Nobody in the NHL is at McDavid's level

Great unbiased and in-depth evidence you got there :sarcasm:
